TOKYO (AP) — Katie Ledecky finished off a busy day at the Tokyo Olympics, qualifying fastest in the first women's 1,500-meter freestyle at the Games and in the 200 free.
Earlier, she earned a silver medal in the 400 free.
In all, the American swam 2,100 meters on Monday.
Ledecky's time of 15 minutes, 35.35 seconds was the eighth-fastest ever in the metric mile. The American already owns all 10 of the top-10 times.
The grueling 30-lap race has been a men's event at the Olympics since 1904. The women are swimming it for the first time in Tokyo, although they've been competing in the event at the world championships since 2001.
